edward penfield

Thanks to Robot Johnny I found Paul Giambarba's brandnew weblog and thanks to Paul I found another Dutch-American illustration link. Edward Penfield was born in New York, but I wouln't be surprised if he were from Dutch descent, he looks very Dutch. And the photographer of his portrait most certainly has a Dutch name. Penfield is known as the originator of the poster in America, especially for Harper's Monthly. After he quit working for Harper's he travelled and published books with sketches of Holland and Spain.

Michele! Do you see the time I posted this entry?!

I am choice of the month in a bookstore in Laren with a merciless digital camera, hurray!
